Error description

Rational Developer for System z - RDz - v9.1.0
The "create paragraph" quick-fix in the COBOL Editor may fail
with the Java StackOverflowError for COBOL programs having more
than 8000 lines of code.
It can take several minutes to display the quick fix options for
some programs.
Recreation scenario:
Open a large COBOL program using the COBOL editor
Add Perform XYZ
Highlight Perform XYZ
CTRL+1 or
right click and select Quick fix
Eventually this will give you the option to create a new
paragraph for XYZ. When you select to create the new paragraph
you may receive a StackException.

Local fix

You can modify the -Xss parameter in the eclipse.ini to
alleviate this issue.

Problem summary

Based on how long the program and the complexity inside the
source program some options to create new paragraph at
different locations inside the source program cause issues.

Problem conclusion

Need to change the implementation to create new paragraph at the
end of the source program.
The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with
IBM Rational Developer for System z V9.1.1.2 Fix Pack which
is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page:
